The story opens in 2989 and is narrated by William Purley, a student of
Melbourne University. Purley embarks on a tour of Australia with some
friends. They set out to visit the capital, Eyreton, and later decide to
extend their adventure with a trip to the African continent and then
England. In England, they visit many cities that have become greatly
diminished and barely inhabited. The narrator is then transported back
to London in the last years of the 19th century to see the origin of
England's decline.
